Out here in BC this goes on every day in our Liberal courts...they are more concerned about protecting the obvious criminals.

I think Judge Catherine would make a perfect Liberal Senator...she would fit right in!

"How did this idiot get on the bench?"

The Muslims elected her, silly.

Muslims also wrote the Charter, invented Human Rights Commissions, introduced race and gender quotas, and were the first celebrants of multiculturalism.

Muslims are well known advocates of fault-free legal systems so typical of western civilization, often letting thieves and rapists off with house arrest rather than punishment. Yep, the Muslims.

I was just working through the inbound mail from my Strategic Forecasting subscription from yesterday, and in a broader analysis of the geopolitical jockeying that is going on as a result of the developing results in this year's US presidential election, I found this interesting analysis:

"The Democrats are locked into a Clinton-Obama death match for the loyalty of the left, while McCain -- who has secured the political right -- can begin courting the center and run for the presidency itself (rather than for the nomination)."

I don't know if it's actually true or not; I think it's interesting.

CalgaryGrit.Blogspot.com . . A very *mellow* Liberal has this ..

Thursday, February 07, 2008
Puh-lease

The Harper government will introduce an unusual confidence motion as early as Monday demanding that the Senate pass the Conservative's crime bill by March 1.

The motion, which puts the Opposition Liberals in an awkward and potentially embarrassing situation, could trigger an election if it fails in the House of Commons. The vote could come as early as next week.

Yeah, I'd say *unusual* is a good way to describe it. Cuz, the thing is, the House of Commons can't force the Senate to do anything. They can pass a bill demanding that the senators tap dance to SexyBack but it would have as much weight as a bill demanding that the Senators trade Ray Emery. Anyone who has taken Grade 10 Social Studies knows that.

The smart money has this government dying on the Afghanistan motion (unless the budget gets moved up) which means we might all be in for a very unpleasant campaign this spring.
=========================== comments R fun there.

Man, I had hopes that Calgary Grit would understand or read up a bit on the Pak / Afgh situation. = TG

That great liberal sense of humor is on display as Air America's Randi Rhodes presents a really cute parody skit in the form of a fake ad, supposedly for Mitt Romney, saying his supporters will commit mass killings if John McCain becomes the nominee.

How very witty compared to the efforts of those humorless knuckle-dragging conservatives.

TG

I agree some of comments on Calgary Grit are off the wall. northbaytrapper and i (Island Conservative) took a couple of shots at them.

I would like to see the Liberals in an election when they are broke and divided.

Here's an interesting article from yesterday's NP about the Sunday's great Super Bowl: "The football gods have spoken"

http://www.nationalpost.com/opinion/columnists/story.html?id=6b1c2ee6-1135-4b43-8608-6b7359e3f9c1&k=13113

Now we know why New England couldn't win. Everyone I know completely lost respect for the Patriots when they got caught spying. Maybe justice was served.

Maybe the 'political gods' use much the same criteria as the 'football gods' when choosing a winner.

CG can be very tolerant of opposing opinions as long as they are polite.

Libs are in a lot of pain though, so no need to rub it in at all.

However, NB Trapper, while being polite, was able to make clear and devastating points. = TG

Duffy loses it with Thomas Mulcir of the NDP. And says the Liberals should be ashamed of the latest at the Ethics Star Chamber. Even Torqumada (thibault) looks like he fears they may have jumped the shark.

And surprise, it sounds like Secret Agent Stevie Cameron will make an appearance next week, watch how Duffy says that she just "made it up".

Oh and that silly Liberal MP, Dhaliwal, asked the cook if he could have the cookbook from the former cook at 24 Sussex. What a tool. (there is a reference in the clip but not the actual clip of Dhaiwal making his assinine suggestion, you would have to watch the whol sad affair again)

So, let me get this straight. If an immigrant comes here from a 3rd world craphole, dragging slaves, multiple wives, concubines, or whatever, Ontario will dole out welfare payments to said slaves/whores/wives/whatever? This cannot be true, can it?

This reminds of the time a group of Somali's were busted for collecting welfare in multiple jurisdictions. They were basically driving up and down the 401, scamming small town social service agencies.

And then there is my all time favorite. While working in Ottawa(construction), I had a run in with a crew of immigrants(doing work without a permit). By the time we were finished, I was accused of being a racist. Why? Because I exposed a scam whereby the "workers"signed over their welfare cheques to some pseudo "warlord", they worked for the idiot, and he payed them back with half of their welfare cheques. Pure slavery. And the balls of this guy to throw racist accusations at me, when in fact he was the racist for subjugating these folks to slavery.

The appearance of Mulroney's former cook was the killer of all credibility that silly "ethics" committee had, IF it ever did have any. The highlight of the whole proceedings yesterday was when Conservative Delmastro apologized to the poor former chef at 24 Sussex they hauled up.

Szabo is not fooling anyone but himself, Pat Martin is right outta his tree and Mulcair is showboating as usual. It's obvious the Liberals are on a fishing trip and they're going down hook, line and sinker.

It's definitely a gong show that's going to get more silly when Stevie Cameron, the author of the infamous, malicious book on Mulroney, appears. It'll have them salivating, hoping to buffer up the Liberal and NDP side show in the guise of "ethics" committee.

This is all a waste of money and time. Who cares one whit about what money Mulroney was paid? It wasn't our money, it wasn't illegal, it was unethical at most.

The amount of the money is of no importance either. If it was $50,000 or $300,000 it doesn't change a thing. It was not our money and it was not illegal.

This kangaroo court is going after some disputed amount of money that did not come from us as taxpayers, was not gotten illegally, may have been unethical, to skewer Conservatives at our expense, nothing more. The trouble is, the only sane people on the Committee are the Conservatives.

Keep a close eye on Szabo, Thibeault, Martin, Mulcair, they're so transparent you can see right through them. Nothing but desperate fools.

Hey Liz,I watched the whole greasy mess as well,and honestly found the questioning of the chef,by Lib.Hubbard the most disturbing.He is most despicable,slimy,and really creepy...The patronizing way he talked down to chef,was true Lib.arrogance on full display,and his fishing to try and get Martin to admit he had been somehow intimidated to shut up by BM lawyers,was honestly painful to watch.He treated Martin as if he were a 'slow'child.It was disgusting to see the desperate attempts by Szabo,Hubbard,to get Martin to say anything to smear Mulroney,and all I could think of is what a collosal waste of time...petty,vindictive nonsense.It was great to hear that Stevie lied,and can't wait for her appearance,so the Cons can finally expose her.Also,I find it somewhat curious,that cbc's Cashore has dropped off face of the earth!He was on cbc daily at the start of this fiasco,and has mysteriously vanished.Maybe he realizes what a joke this is.

CTV NEWS .. Seamus O'Reagan this Morning "The Liberals Are Under Attack by the Conservatives!"

So all the government is doing is ATTACKING the opposition?

That's the way our MSM thinks.

Agreed - the Ethics Committee is an outrageous and unethical travesty.

I watched about ten minutes of the Chef Witness. The questions were, not merely patronizing, but above all, editorial; that is, the questions were 'leading the witness'.

One main questioner (sorry; my inability to remember names) asked the chef about high expenses for furniture (? what does that have to do with Mulroney-Schreiber?) and read from a list that a 'new lampshade was purchased about every month at 24 Sussex". Oh, and the Chair, Paul Szabo, refused to disallow these questions.

He then suggested to the chef that this was unusual that 'so many lampshades 'were being broken' (why is a new one a result of the old one being broken?). And then, he suggested that this 'breakage' was the result of Wild Parties being held there. He asked the chef if this was so. The chef didn't know.

He asked the chef about his budget; chef replied it was 'carte blanche'. The questioner then suggested that this meant 'enormous waste'.

And so on. It was a disgusting spectacle by the Liberals. What's their agenda?

Sammy, yesterday's appearance of the poor chef was the undoing of this whole scabby sham. How can it recover from this sad display? This is Canada for heavens sake, not some two bit sleazy Banana Republic out to hang a former Leader.
These fools from the Libs and Dippers are acting with the zeal of radicals. They're hardly in a position to sit in judgment of a person's ethics carrying on as they are.

What's even more dumbfounding is Chretien trying to toss the Gomery report. How much coverage is that going to get? Is this another looming side show? It's all about the Liberals all the time. They're so desperate for power they'll stoop to anything.
Wake up Canada before it's too late.

Fetish: "An abnormally obsessive preoccupation or attachment; a fixation." (dictcom)

I have said before the Libs are using Camerons book as the guide to their questions.

Problem is Stevie is compromised, used bad info and inflates what she has.

I dont know if the Cons should question her or not. Maybe they should just spend their 10 minutes making statements. Or say we dont believe a thing this witness has to say, or do you have anything to add in evidence over and above your book. By the way Ms Cameron how much money did you make off of that book. Hmm over 300,000.....interesting.....

Anyway, she doesnt know anything else, cashore knows nothing more than he has published or filmed.

There is nothing here.

Fair question to ask Stevie....has she met with any of the members of the committee leading up to the testimony. Who and what did they discuss.

Send schrieber back to Germany. If he has info to spill he will spill it then to get out of jail.

Lampshades, wild parties, maybe they can ask if coke was ssnorted.....or were lampshades being broken from 4 kids running around the house playing ball hockey indoors?

Its not just trnasparent, it is unseemly and dirty. I had to take a shower after watching them interview the cook.

Sammy, thanks for the note on Chretien's historical revisionism. What a blithering idiot the man is!

My father often spoke of Calgary's night sky lit up like the dawn from the Turner Valley gas being flared off and wasted. The federal government didn't care about the waste, but wouldn't transfer control of natural resources to Alberta and Saskatchewan either, until it was too late.

Our other "reliance on the East", the vaunted Prairie Farm Rehabilitation Act, was enacted in 1940. Ottawa scarcely cared about Western agriculture until it became crucial for the war effort. PFRA was only secondarily a response to the Depression and Dustbowl. Post hoc ergo propter hoc, Monsieur Chretien?

ET,the Lib.inquisitor you mentioned was the aforementioned sleazeball Hubbard.
It was also very telling re Lib arrogance when Senator(loser) Sharon Carstairs barged in on Duff earlier in wk,more or less to brag that the senate was untouchable,and they would do as they like.I must say,I am embarrassed to be from Manitoba,the province that contributed this windbag to the Senate.

Here is another shocker.

According to Stave J at The Great White North blog David Suzuki is in cahoots with BIG OIL!!

Who would have guessed.

And since David has been paid for decades by the CBC does this then mean CBC is also in cahoots with BIG OIL?

But since David Suzuki, AL Gore and Mo Strong are all for dupes buying Carbon Credits from Russia, China, India, Cuba, North Korea etc., does this mean BIG OIL is involved in the carbon credits pyramid scheme resulting in CBC planted questions to Liberal chaired ethics committee to ensnare Stephen Harper's conservatives in stuffed brown envelopes by Brian Mulroney's French cook, twenty years ago?

Just wondering.

Check out the Black Rod today..very interesting as usual.

LizJ:

The desperation displayed by the "Lack of Ethics" committee is pathetic.

Why didn't they ask the chef if the former PMBM was having wild sex parties swinging from the chandelier?

Maybe this is how the lampshades were broken?

Barnum, Bailey and the Ringling Bros. combined couldn't put on better entertainment.

Now Chretien is trying to salvage his reputation by saying Responsible Government is not really responsible by having the Gomery Commission report set aside.

Why? So the LIEberals can have another crack at money and power. But hey a $220 billion dollar federal budget is a not a bad motivator!!

Send them back to their redoubt in Berlin, Ontario!!

sammy - thanks for the name, a Liberal, Hubbard. It was a disgusting display. As noted, he treated the chef as if he were a 'mentally challenged' hapless helpless.

Patronizing in the extreme, treating the chef as if he required 'gentle handling' and simple questions, leading questions which weren't questions at all but were all malicious ad hominem assertions that he wanted the chef to approve.

ie, that purchasing lampshades meant that Mulroney was having wild parties;
that a carte blanche food budget meant that Mulroney was extravagant;
and so on.

And the Chair allowed this, and refused Conservative objections that the questions were not relevant. According to the Chair, any and all questions are relevant if they refer to Mulroney.

Disgusting.

Further remarks by "Dost" Williams:

Melanie Phillips, The Archbishop's Speech

In a major lecture this evening, which I attended, he argued for an accommodation between English law and Islamic sharia law: an end to the ‘legal monopoly’ of English law, in order to allow people to choose between Islamic and English law for the resolution of disputes and the administration of marriage, divorce, inheritance and other matters. This incendiary proposition was nevertheless expressed in the lecture in language so convoluted and ambiguous — ‘nuanced’ is, I think, the current expression of choice — that many in the audience admitted they didn’t have a clue what on earth he was actually saying. So nervous was Lambeth Palace, however, that the press would sensationalise his remarks, it tried to control the reaction by restricting embargoed copies of the text so that few papers would be able to report the lecture — and instead giving an exclusive interview with Dr Williams to BBC Radio Four’s World at One.

Boy, was that ever a mistake...

Williams is essentially arguing for different legal systems according to which 'identifiable group' you are a member of. Fascinating.

So, he is rejecting universal principles of reason, morality, human rights and is instead opting for group mores (not the same as morality) and group rights (not the same as human rights).

He is privileging the group over the individual, stating that groups can be identified as exclusive memberships, and the individual effectively is subsumed within the identity of one particular group.

Quite the ideology- found in both communist and fascist systems.

By the way, vitruvius, with reference to your Strategic Forecasting Journal, I'd agree with:

"The Democrats are locked into a Clinton-Obama death match for the loyalty of the left, while McCain -- who has secured the political right -- can begin courting the center and run for the presidency itself (rather than for the nomination)."

Except that McCain hasn't really secured the political right; you know that's a problem. He has to show the conservatives that he's not a Liberal-in-disguise as many on the right feel he is. AND, he has to show the centre that he's neither right nor left. But centre. Heh. Yes, he can get on now, with running for the presidency while Clinton and Obama tear each other apart.

Bet you have not seen anything about this in our MSM!

The Mystery Cable Cuts in the Mediterranean and Arab Gulf regions number 4 and possibly 5 within a week this month are NOT coincidence.

Apparently support among Canadians for a Tory majortity government is falling, according to MSM. You see, a few months ago, Canadians who were "comfortable" or "reasonably comfortable" for Harper majority was about 52%. Now it has dropped - to about 52% ("comfortable" dropped while "reasonably comfortable" increased).

More non-news from the MSM.

This Thibault is quite a piece of work. His riding contains CFB Greenwood and he won last time by just over 500 votes, and he wants Dion to go ahead and force election over Afghanistan. What gives Thibault? Has the town clerk job become available again?

Dion is miffed about the "secrecy" around Afghanistan, fresh out of his meeting with PM this week. Imagine not wanting to give any quarter to our enemies by telling them about troop locations, use of weaponry and armaments. Hello Mr Dion, we're about to have a parliamentary debate about the mission, but I guess that's secretive too.

More bluff and bluster from Grits who are afraid of election, who will have to find a way to molify Tories. Dion's biggest problem is he cannot control Liberal Senators, who have backed him into a corner with their obstructionism. This will not look good in election - I can see the Tory ads now - government wants to protect Canadians from crime and unelected Senate won't listen to their "leader" so we have an election.

Not good. Liberals need to change the channel quickly. Maybe the "ethics" committe could demand the tax returns of Mulroney's former cook. I hear his dog groomer may be added to the witness list. Stevie Cameron is in for a rough ride next week from Tories, assuming opposition members don't prevent it, with help from Szabo. Her duplicity and stupidity already cost the taxpayers $2 million and Mulroney should have sued her long ago, but for some silly reasons "journalists" are off limits for defamation claims.

We have an interesting month ahead, no doubt.

Anybody want to make book on the Stevie Cameron testimony next week. Any questions from the conservatives will be ruled out of order or irrelevant.

Sarkozy unveiled the much-awaited plan for reinvigorating isolated suburban housing projects and better integrating their youth into French society. The conservative president stressed the importance of new security measures, and declared a "war without mercy" against drug traffickers in such neighbourhoods.

The Victoria Times Colonist identifies itself as an extension of the liberal party:

http://www.canada.com/victoriatimescolonist/news/comment/story.html?id=6c9899e7-0e82-4d33-9e35-08a57be8fb42

"Canadians should be debating these provisions. And in our view, there is a need for a change. But the need is not so pressing as to justify Martin's dispute with his own party."

I guess they've never heard of something they call integrity. Martin has the guts to stand up for what is right and the paper chides him for it. Why don't they just call themselves the Liberal-Times-Colonist?

To me, the most absurd event in the 'Hey ma! I got no ethics' Committee occurred at the end just before that dipstick Szabo had to dismiss Mulroney's chef.

Szabo oozed the question whether the chef remembered a woman on the liberal staff who had phoned him & talked to him about his forced appearance.

The chef said that he did.

Szabo very ominously asked whether he remembered telling her how "disgusted" he had been with his service at 24 Sussex, and whether that had anything to do with graft, corruption, debauchery that he had seen there?

When it was clear that the chef had mentioned his "disgust" because in his view the Mulroneys were living a sybaritic lifestyle, unlike his own humble beginnings, one could almost see Szabo deflate.

Seems the libs were counting on the poor chap to bolster their argument that there existed a money pipeline from Shreiber to Mulroney that even kitchen help couldn't miss noticing.

The poor libs are so very, very desperate for power it almost hurts to see.

We may have to stomp over the MSM and take to the streets to make sure the Liberals don't get anything close to power.

Any Party showing so much desperation for power has to be trampled to the ground. What is the reason for such desperation? What is it they miss about power that has anything to do with what's good for the country and it's people?

They haven't even got respect for the peoples' choice for government because it isn't them.
They've been reduced to Banana Republic tactics in their desperation.
